Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay, “Nature” was wrote in 1836
Eight Chapters
Transcendentalists saw nature not only as beautiful, but as a reflection of divinity--literally, the face of God.
They believed that the “macrocosm” (the universe) and the “microcosm” (the individual) were directly connected.
Nature also expressed his social conscience and a call to action.
The harmony between humans and nature.
Transparent Eyeball: Emerson describes himself that he can see what others may not. Nature makes him see more of a different define universe. Seeing things from a different perspective.
